The 17th annual Good Housekeeping Toy Awards are here, and the lineup is filled with exciting, kid-tested winners.

While it’s easy to spot the buzz around certain toys, Good Housekeeping goes the extra mile to ensure that these toys aren’t just popular — they actually work well and keep kids entertained long after the unboxing.

This year, hundreds of toys were tested in the Good Housekeeping Institute Labs, as well as in the homes of more than 300 kid testers, to bring you the top picks.
